What is "Transformational Tuesdays?"
Transformational Tuesdays are a series of life skills classes geared to move people that are struggling into a life of self-sufficiency. We pray that by uniting local churches and resources that people's needs are met in a way that heals and strengthens the whole person: physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually.
Our doors are open to any Douglas County community member! Regardless of your income or beliefs, anyone can benefit from these classes.
Our focus: Life Transformation. That means dedication and long term walking with participants. Though participants benefit from taking any class, the point of transformational ministry is the big picture. These classes work as a whole, identifying deeper root issues to promote healing and moving into the best life possible. You get what you put in!
Going deeper...Love INC partners with local organizations and mobilizes churches to really make a lasting difference. How much depends on the participant. Clients, or neighbors in need, can also benefit from weekly incentives, childcare during classes, matched savings opportunities, and pairing with long-term mentors. If you need support in these areas, please call our Clearinghouse at 320.759.3022. The opportunities are endless!
Volunteer... As a ministry of excellence, we train all of our volunteers who make up Transformational Tuesdays. It is crucial for us to understand what poverty is, and what it is not, how to help without hurting. We do not fix, judge or save others. We don't have the answers to solve someone's life problems. What we do have is a God who has the power to do all that! So we put Him on display, using the many different gifts and abilities He's provided. During Transformational Tuesdays, see His love reflected in the kitchen, the organizers, childcare providers, facilitators, discussion leaders, mentors/allies, prayer team, greeters, volunteer drivers and more!

2 PART MINI SESSION: GROUNDBREAKER
About the Class:
We have an upcoming short class called Groundbreaker. This class talks about family dynamics, which includes roles that we take on living in a family system. Our relationships, good or bad, have an influence on who we are today. Don’t worry, it isn’t a therapy session.
We tell the story of a fictional family dealing with real life situations and have found it to be very helpful…especially around the Holidays! It’s split into 2 parts answering these questions: 101) How did I get here and 102) Where do I go now?

Resolving Everyday Conflict
8 week Course
We all have conflict. Think about the people you know. They may not be in the middle of a big blow up, but they certainly have tense conversations around the breakfast table or difficulties with an overbearing boss. Or more seriously, perhaps their marriage is on the verge of falling apart. Regardless, they are looking for answers.
Resolving Everyday Conflict unpacks the amazing things the Bible has to say about conflict and relationships in a fun, non-threatening, and “non-churchy” way. Give the people inside and outside your church the powerful and practical answers they are looking for to forever change how conflict looks in their lives ... and teach them about Jesus at the same time.
